House of Dub Irish VW Night

For those of you who read my blog regularly, you will know that on the last Wednesday of each month the House of Dud / HOD Imports hold their monthly VW meet. As the previous venue had closed down, Zoe from House of Dub had been searching the local venues trying to find somewhere suitable to hold the club meet. The new location was the Irish Centre in Bletchley, and I have to say what a good venue it is. It has a big enough car park, cheap beer and food and plenty of space we can use for different things. Well done Zoe!

Zoe brought the House of Dub latest importvehicle, a lovely red bay with patina paint which is up for sale, contact Zoe at http://www.houseofdub.co.uk/Welcome formore info about the bus or have a look atit at VW Action this weekend at Santa PodRaceway.

This bay looks great with the sun bleached paint.

Spike brought his Audi powered T25, this reallyis a beast.

Very unassuming look, until Spike floors thethrottle...

This golf was riding on air suspension, really cool car, but I didn't catch the owners name.

Alix and Claire brought 'Betty Rose' their T25which they intend to tour Europe in, and eventually get to Australia. Good luckguys, have fun.

This is the latest H.O.D Imports bus to be sold and the new owners Matt and Caroline turned up to join us. They live just across the other side of town to me, and hopefully we'llsee more of them at various VW gatherings.Nice to meet you both tonight, see you bothsoon.

This really is a nice bus, and which I'm sureMatt and Caroline will have great time owning.

Ben brought his awesome Caddy along. I dolike this, everything about it is right.

I could have one of these as a daily driver.

Mark brought his super clean, super brightT5, I just love this colour.

Who says single colours on something thisbig doesn't work, I think you'll find it does.

Tony brought his lovely T25, with a 2.0 GTI motor in it, this bus is so nice.

Another view of Tony's T25. One of the nicest T25's I've seen, lovely colour, nicestance and with a 2.0 gti motor it has plentyof go too.

Gavin from Paint Shop Pro's brought his Baja. As you would expect from a paint shopowner, the paint is flawless.

The blue is actually a metal flake paint and looks great when the light reflects onto it.

A somewhat blurry photo of my bay, and I'd only had half a pint.

That's better, a clear in focus shot. See howthe paint shines in the evening sun...!So that was the August H.O.D VW meeting atthe new venue. It was quite a good turn out of vehicles and I think we all had a good time.Nobody knows if it will be at the same venue next month, but I hope so, as it has potential.
